ayoooooo happy monday fam! 🥰🖤 how was your weekend? did you stick to whatever goals you have in place for yourself or did you give in to sweets, treats, higher calorie meals and cocktails?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you feel like you back-tracked with your progress because you didn’t eat very well this weekend or you drank more than you intended to, ITS 👏🏽 OKAY!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️ you do not have to burn off the extra calories ‼️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i realllllly used to struggle with this. from my past history with an eating disorder to now, sometimes feeling guilty if i indulge a bit, i always felt a need to work off what i ate/drank in the gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but i changed this mindset by flipping my perspective on the situation. instead of extra cardio, extra lifting, fasting, limiting my food intake etc. i began to open my mind to the BIGGER picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
my ability to choose a diet, my ability to move and train my body is a blessing all in itself. i am SO grateful that i have the choice to eat healthy, organic & unprocessed foods but also enjoy pizza, ice cream and wine. not everyone lives a life like that, some people have no choice towards what they may or may not want to eat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
when i start to feel guilt or regret, i remind myself that I AM NOT MY BODY. i am so much more than a physical being. i am a spiritual being and my body is simply a vessel for my mind & soul 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and there are times when i want to just experience life and be in the moment at hand without worry of “what my body will look like after the meal” or “how bloated i’m gonna be” or “what’re the calories in this/that.” sometimes i will ask myself what i want to feel when i look back on my twenties when i’m old and gray 👵🏼 i don’t want to feel like i missed out on different life situations, events and experiences because i was too concerned with my body and outward appearance. i want to feel as if i LIVED.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
so a monday reminder from me to you —
YOURE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER FEELS GOOD TO YOU WITHOUT GUILT.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
start today off with a grateful heart.
you’re alive, you’re breathing, you’re so SO loved, and you have privileges/abilities that not everyone is blessed to have ♥️💫

Hi friends 🤗🤗 I’m a happy bean! I feel like myself again. FINALLY. Confident, clear-headed, and collected.

Let’s get it, happy Monday! ⚡️

One more day in LA with mah gurlzzz, lol. I’ll actually be home for more than 48 hours for the first time in about a month & a half 🙈 The traveling isn’t over yet though, who knows where I’m headed next? 🤷🏽‍♀️👯‍♀️

So incredibly grateful & feeling so blessed for where I’m at right now! Traveling, spending time with my fam & bff’s, working out when I can, eating out & not stressing, and enjoying every minute of it ✨ Finishing off 2018 on such a high note & even more excited for the new year! It’s so easy to get caught up in day to day worries & concerns but when you take a second to step back & count your blessings - it really puts thing into perspective! I’m one happy girl 😇
